Abstract

The ITAIL-COVID-19 project (RIA2020EF-2947) aims to better understand the COVID-19 infection epidemiology in Congo-Brazzaville and to strengthen the country's national surveillance system. Surveillance will be carried out by assessing the circulation of the virus in the community, in various ways (patients with flu-like symptoms and a symptom-free control group).
